Mother&Baby team’s Black Friday 2024 cart: What we’re buying

“My children are 3 and 5 years old, so the cold, bumps, and bruises can be a bit more frequent in the colder months. These are on my radar to help my little ones when they're not feeling well or simply to pop in their pockets on walks during cold days to keep their hands warm.”

“My 3-year-old daughter is getting really interested in riding a bicycle, especially after watching her older brother learn to ride, so I'm on the hunt for a deal on this one. Plus, it's Peppa Pig, which she loves.”

“My 5-year-old son is really into conducting experiments, so to save him from using up all the washing-up liquid and to give me ideas on how I can interact with him further, this book looks excellent.”

“I’m trying to encourage my 5-year-old to be confident with numbers and telling the time. He also loves Spider-Man, so a good smartwatch for kids is on my radar.”

"With the colder months fast approaching, I've been eyeing a small, compact indoor trampoline. I'm hoping to score a good deal on this one for my 3- and 5-year-old."

"My 3-year-old loves these Tom Fletcher 'There's a...' books, and I think this would make a perfect stocking filler or addition to a Christmas Eve box."

“I've been debating getting a nappy bin, but one of my mum friends recently told me it's definitely worth it! So, I'm hoping to get a discount on the Vital Baby Hygiene Nappy Bin—it doesn't require expensive refill cassettes and locks in any stink to save trips to the outside bin!”

“We know how important hydration is, particularly when you’re breastfeeding—it’s seriously thirsty work. While I’m hoping there will be some discounts on Stanley cups, I’m also going to keep an eye out for popular alternatives that cost a fraction of the price. Not only do these clever insulated drinking cups keep your icy water ice cold all night, but they can also keep a hot cup of tea warm, so you’ll never need to drink a lukewarm cuppa again!”

"My son starts weaning this month, so I’m hoping to pick up this BIBaDO starter set, as I’ve heard great things about the coverall bib for minimising all the mess that inevitably comes with introducing food to a baby!"

“I'm hoping to buy this as my seven-year-old son loves hot chocolates, and we recently had one at one of the Hotel Chocolat cafes, and he said it was the best one he's ever had! Christmas isn't an easy time for us, so I'm hoping this will add some magic back into our evenings throughout the festive period when we're watching films with a cup of 'the best hot chocolate.'”

"I really wanted a nightlight for my four-year-old because he's frightened of the dark. I love that this lamp can be controlled via my phone and it works in conjunction with the Nanit baby monitor."

“My four-year-old will turn five in December, and she is desperate to have a tablet like her older sister. We told her she had to wait until she was five, just like her sister did. It is hard to think of both birthday and Christmas presents at the same time, so this tablet would make it a little bit easier, especially with a Black Friday deal.”

“I'll be keeping my eye on Yankee Candles and gift sets to see if they've been discounted during the Black Friday sales. They make great Christmas gifts for mum friends and families!”

“My daughter loves music and is constantly the 'DJ' on our family Google Home Mini speaker. So this Black Friday, I've got my eye on an Echo Dot Kids. Not that I don't want to listen to her music on repeat, but I know she'd get a kick out of being able to play music in her bedroom!"

"My baby boy actually turns one on Black Friday itself, so I'm planning to hold off on buying birthday and Christmas presents until then. He is such a daredevil, so I'm going to be snapping up a ride-on toy bike for him to scoot around in.”

“He also loves swimming and the bath, so this Tomy Foam Cone Factory will keep him entertained for ages.”

“I'm also going to be stocking up on all the baby board books, the noisier the better!”

“In terms of clothes, I love Blade & Rose's leggings; they are so comfy and wash so well.”

“My son is a big fan of The Gruffalo, and we want to establish a reading routine with him. To help with that, I’ll be choosing a book advent calendar and gifting him The Gruffalo and Friends Advent Calendar Book Collection.”

“My son is a little chef in the making, so this Black Friday, my husband and I are going all out to get him his very first kitchen set! We struggled to find something suitable for his age, as most sets are for kids aged 3 and up. But then I discovered the Learning Resources New Sprouts Prep ‘n Store Kitchen Island, designed for ages 2 and up. I know this will make his toddler dreams come true! He’s always smashing our pots and pans and rummaging through the cupboards, so it’s definitely time for him to have his own kitchen playset.

“When my son was born, one of his first snowsuits came from a family-run business that specialises in baby and toddler wear. I fell in love with their designs and quality! This Black Friday, they’re offering 25% off sitewide with code BF25, and I’ll be stocking up on winter outfits for my little guy. I’ve got my eye on this cosy blue snowsuit—it looks perfect for keeping him warm this winter!”

“My son is absolutely obsessed with The Gruffalo—it’s a family favourite! Spending Christmas morning in The Gruffalo Christmas Fairisle Jumper from Jojo Maman Bébé is a must. It’s super festive, looks warm, and will definitely keep him toasty on Christmas Day!”
